Should pregnant women be denied alcohol? If yes, you need to make a law about it. If no, you need to make a law about it.
Should.
Talking about current legislation is irrelevant.

the fact that it opens additional questions is precisely what makes it unclear.
That is a ridiculous stance.

If I say the Earth revolves around the sun, that is clear, but encorages speculation about other stars.

In fact it is difficult to think of a statement that does not open additional questions.

Perhaps you have one?

Give up mind-reading and concentrate on debating.

Because if the fetus is a person then he or she must be given a cut of his/her father's wealth when he dies unless specifically excluded in his will.
ATY: What does any of that have to do with a mother drinking heavily while with child!!! I'm completely missing your argument. Provide some context??

Subconsciously you correctly referred to the child as a child. That is why Zhilanzi is all up in your grill right now...talking about "we believe this" and "we believe that" basically how you are maybe one more slip up away from being thrown out of the hive.

Clearly you don't really believe the fetus is a person if you're unwilling to acknowledge all of his or her rights.

Provided a DNA test, sure... the child should inherit. I would want that for my children born or unborn?!? Do you have children?

Now, can we get back to the point? What does that have to do with a mother heavily drinking while carrying a child??

This is my post:
Abortion is beforethe child has come into existence.
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome will adversely affect the child all its life.


I'm referring to a child. Not a fetus.
Which is why I described abortion as being BEFORE the child exists.

I stand corrected. So you do believe that humanity is bestowed by some magical fairy once the child has moved spatially 1ft in an direction outside the womb. congratulations, I think you're back in the club!

No I don't. Which is why I believe a human being is a human being independent of facking spatial position.

Your buddy Zhilianzi apparently believes its ok to to take a partially birthed child and cut its facking head off, I assume you are in that club. As such... I have nothing further to say to you.

One of the best debates I have Listened to (pun intended) in a long time, though the above "....Abortion as being BEFORE the child exists' has got to be resolved to continue!!! The Conservative Right believes it is a Child before the abortion Takes Place!. That is the rub, is it not? So we first must resolve that, and also agree that an unborn child may certainly inherit, and then come up with the answer to the original question!!!!! Can the govt rule that she is breaking the law while drinking when pregant.......which raises the question, what if she is drinking in her locked bedroom, ......who will monitor that? Entertaining stuff.

Of course, it is not good to drink while pregnant, a given. Problem is, conservative people worry about government telling people what to do, while liberal people proffer government control....that is the problem. Govt once told gay people to not sodomize. Was it the business of the government? Will liberal people ever draw the line? Will the government someday tell me I cannot cook a hamburger in my backyard?

It was conservatives telling gay people they could not have sex.
It was conservatives saying women should not vote.

It is the right-wing that wants to tell people what they can't do.
Liberals give people rights.

Well it’s not a problem then is it? if the foetus can survive being taken out of the womb and placed 1ft away and if it survives it can come to your house and live it’s life.
